Becaue the icing sugar has small paricles.
Only sugar is soluble in water.
The icing sugar has a greater surface area than the lump and so the reaction occurs more easily with the icing sugar powder. This in general applies to many salts and soluble compounds.
i think its because caster sugar has smaller particles!!:)
Caster sugar or icing sugar. Sugar with larger grains do not dissolve properley in the cake mix.
It has more surface area.
Yes, you can substitute castor sugar for icing sugar, but the texture and sweetness may differ. Castor sugar, also known as superfine sugar, is granulated and doesn't dissolve as smoothly as icing sugar, which is powdered and often contains cornstarch to prevent clumping. If using castor sugar in recipes that require icing sugar, you may need to adjust for consistency by adding a bit of liquid or blending it to a finer texture.
If u wanted to make icing then icing sugar is better to be used. But if only sugar is available then you must melt it down in a saucepan.. Search it on google for how to do it as I'm not completely sure. I Just use icing sugar
Although it will still be edible, icing sugar will start to dry and crack after a few months.
Confectioner's sugar is icing sugar mixture (pure icing sugar with a small amount (about 3%) of starch added as an anti-caking agent). Pure icing sugar is very fine powdered refined sugar with no added starch.
If you are making icing, yes. If you are making a meringue, no.
Yes..... powdered sugar, confectioner sugar , icing sugar. Add water or juice and flavoring voila= icing
Not really; sugars other than powdered do not dissolve when used in a mixture that is not heated (such as icing). If the recipe already involves brown sugar, you can increase the quantity slightly without too many side-effects. However replacing powdered sugar (completely) with brown is likely to yield undesirable results; powdered sugar helps add 'smoothness' to icing, so without this you may end up with a very brown granular icing (that may not set adequately). If the recipe does not call for brown sugar at all, definitely do not add it.
